Correct. No Bowey or Dunstan.

They’re doing a 3/4 field drill where they’re marking on the wing but then progressively bringing in into the middle and kicking up the guts into the forward line rather than going to the pockets. Hmmmm

That is how we played Brisbane at the Gabba recently.  Delivery was deep i50 and we scored freely and accurately. 

Couldn't understand why we didn't try it last week in the 4th when the game was on the line.

I agree with David King's comments on 360.

I think we can win tomorrow night without Petracca and we need him at 100% against Geelong.

We saw what happened last time he said he was 'right to go'. He was absolutely useless against Freo when he was crook.

This is where the coach needs to step in and think about what's best for the team on the night as well as going forward.

I'd rest him, then load up and throw everything at Geelong.

Dr. Laura's explanation of the bone injury gives me confidence he'll play and worth a listen.  Its the cork to the calf that's clearly the issue re: pain and movement.

Lever saying at a presser earlier this week that "... Trac trained well for someone with a broken leg..."  isn't helpful, although as Whateley said this week it could become the stuff of legend if we win, and Trac plays at least well or better.

Frisch doesn’t have any strapping on his knee but seems to be sitting out of the drill. 

someone asked him if he’s playing. He said hopefully not very confidently on my opinion. 

Fritta would believe he still has to be selected despite 53 goals. Or he has been told to play doubtful!!

Sounds a bit like the walking wounded! So we have Trac limping, Fritsch only hopeful of playing, Spargo doubtful, Jackson with a knee injury that requires surgery, Brown with a knee, Gawn NQR (ankle?), Lever with a foot concern, Oliver with a recently fractured thumb. Have I missed anyone? What was that old adage about taking injured players into finals?

Just told goody to put kozzie in the middle for 5 when he and the team need a spark ... completely ignored me 🤣

I told Paul Roos to give Colin Garland a go in the midfield. He didn't seem to agree with it. Two weeks later Garland got rotated through the midfield. He was a better Backman. But he did try it.

First time I've seen JVR in person.

He's a seriously big unit.

Yes he looks bigger framed than on the box.  Still plenty of room for some extra muscle in the next few years.  Has a good leap on him.  In marking contests there's a glimpse of Robbo at times.

Penny's finally dropped or is this a common theme at training?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
